Here's a by-the-numbers look at the UTSA-Rice game Saturday night in Houston.

3 - Interceptions thrown by UTSA this season -- second in C-USA, 22nd among FBS schools.

4 - Of the 13 longest plays in UTSA's six-season football history, four of them came against Southern Mississippi last week.

4 - Among the seven leading career passers in Rice history -- the number who are from San Antonio. They are Tommy Kramer, Chase Clement, Mark Comalander and Nick Fanuzzi. And that doesn't include Rice-ex Tobin Rote, the only player in history who led his team to NFL and AFL championships.

7 - Yards needed by Jarveon Williams to become the all-time leading rusher in UTSA's brief football history. Williams currently has 1,746 rushing yards. Current leader David Glasco II has the program's record of 1,752 set between 2011-14.

8 - Kerry Thomas' career touchdown receptions. It's tied for the school record set by David Morgan II from 2011-15.

10 - David Bailiff's tenure at Rice. It's tied for the ninth-longest among all FBS coaches.

11.3 - UTSA's average yards per play last week against USM. It was the highest by an FBS team since Mississippi State went for 11.8 yards per play against Northwestern State on Sept. 9,2015. It was the most by a C-USA team since UAB produced 11.5 yards per play against FAU on Nov. 7, 2009.

23-12 - Bailiff's career record in regular-season conference games at Rice Stadium.

55 - UTSA's scoring last week against USM. It was the second-highest in school history and most ever scored by the Roadrunners against an FBS opponent.

94.1 - UTSA's red-zone percentage of scoring drives this season. It ranks 13th among the 128 FBS teams and second in C-USA.
